smells like 70kWh/100km :)

Kuba jabłoński yes Audi said it is able to drive 20 minutes at max speed. The motor should be liquid cooled

ohh, no... I was thinking that Audi knew what they are doing and they will be better than Tesla ://

It's soo sad :P

Alin Mustata i heard that at those high speeds the drive unit is the limiting part. The same with Tesla.

This car is not a miracle. It cost like some super cars but you will get your re gen only when you drive 50 like grandpa

englisch kann jeder:)

Eine Jahr

Nein, Autobahn, Scheisse, Schmutz, Polizei, Salz, Achtung, Stau, Kinder, Bratwurst, Unfall .... super, should be enough ;-)

imagine Bjorn do his videos in Thai or Norway language....English videos tend to get to more people

I don't get the use of the different modes: dynamic still slower than tesla in sport mode. Efficiency still thirstier than tesla in sport mode, ...

lol All those different modes on the Audi E-tron remind me of the different wallpapers and ringtones on Motorola and Nokia phones...

Wonder how the E-Tron compares to a Q5? That's the missing comparison in all of these videos.

SCHMUTZ!!!

I thought headlight washers were required by law for all headlights that output more than 2000Lm (that would be pretty most Xenon and LED lights), at least here in Scandinavia. How does Tesla get around that?

You can change that

Kim Jensen It isn't. He could do it better thats right but how should he show us how much fuel or electricity that Audi A3 e-tron needs ????

Maybe an cockpit view so we can see everything we want.

@@peterdonath5746 I believe the critic isn't about Bjorns implementation of the screen but rather about Audi's constant display of the car...

Maximus245 He should had made an usually POV Test drive. That would be good.

@Martin Evans So the Audi is very smart and much more sophisticated than a Toyota. :-) But like I say both are great features.

It is possible that this is due to the microphone being near the instrument cluster.

Agree that the microphone must be close to the signal sound. I’ve owned 3 Audi’s and the signal sound is just right. Not too low like American cars that you see constantly signaling because they’ve forgotten about the signal light being on and not too loud and cheap sounding like the Japanese imports.

+fgyuszko This should be configurable like everything else in the car.

@@bjornnyland Agree - it should be at least like at VW eGolf or eUp! with the function "B" - when you have the most regen: the more you loose the pedal the more it regens till full. Surprised that this function is not there - even being in the same company group...

Auto high beam is so 2000 it does have matrix led lights

watch the video. he mentions adaptive highbeam several times and uses it.

driving a model X is always a great experience of the feeling "omg which part will fall apart next"

Bill Lumbergh All Audis are made out of Aluminium, actually Audi was the first car company to use aluminium for the car frame.

+ragsupporter S mode doesn't increase consumption.

@@bjornnyland Are you sure? The trim is different at different speeds and also the torque is shifted more to the rear axle in S mode.

@@ragsupporter I agree. At the end of the movie the consumption is 28.2 Wh/km and Bjorn has been hammering it many times. I'm sure that if the car has been driven without hammering all the time and normal day use the consumption would have been maybe 240 of 250Wh/km consumtion is comparable to the Model X,. I'm sure that driving in S mode consumes more than D mode.

dont think so

Yes

the low volume of their production would suggest otherwise when it comes to batteries. also the low efficiency tells us another story when it comes to their motor/inverter tech. I'm absolutely positive that the old manufacturers will manage to catch up, but for now Tesla is ahead. Meanwhile Tesla will surely try to catch up on the aspects you mentioned. anyway we are bound to have ever better EVs.

@@ConeRanger5 In house nobody makes more batteries than Tesla. On the other hand most other makers outsource battery manufacture and are building their own plants - it's not a bottleneck as it has been for Tesla even recently. As for being more efficient? Well that depends on how you look at it. Tesla are using a battery chemistry which allows better efficiency. Others aren't and the only real reason is probably a safety one where they see it as too heat unstable. It's not hard to be more efficient if you make cars with less sound proofing and rock hard tyres becasue a lighter car with less rolling resistance is already at a big advantage. There comes a point where the trade off for comfort, noise, quality and so on is required more than overall efficiency. Audi seem to realise this which is why they have things like wipers which work effectively - even though they probably add a little weight and efficiency. In reality I doubt most E-tron buyers will miss the extra 5-10% range but they would certainly hear the road noise and get annoyed at the cheap bits if that were the case. Way back in the 80's a good friend of mine and his team made a golf cart with a solar roof and large battery bank for the ev distance race. It looked like a land speed car, got as hot as the sun inside, was slow and horrible to be in but it did almost 800 miles on it's only charge. It was then disqualified for having the solar panel on the roof but that's another story. The point is it was very efficient and went a very long way. People wouldn't want it though.

@@linu4592 It's very late, isn't it?

I'm sure they will, in germany that becomes untenable, as you cannot drive freely into cities anymore. And as resale value is a big part of a cars cost, Diesel buyers would be in for a very rough ride indeed. And as more and more countries enact similar rules, diesel as a propulsion choice will die. Of course, old diesel cars will be around for quite some time, but new ones? Not very likely. Additionally, most new cars are actually bought by fleet services over here, and those fleet managers want to go electric quite desperately, for a variety of reasons. The currently biggest problem is supply.

Diesel are still popular, people just don't care

Some most probably do. However, statistics from all OEMs as well as the official KBA statistic show that Diesel numbers are falling rapidly in new cars. Of course, as mentioned, the interest for EVs is there, but the supply is not. Therefore some will have to buy what is available, not what they want. Especially those buying cars by the 100s or 1000s.

Soordhin “You cannot drive freely into cities anymore” - Its one road... in one city. VW sold more diesels in 2018 than in 2017. I think most people don’t care, just bought a diesel myself.

Actually, it is much more. That one is just even for Euro 6 diesel, but there are many zones for Euro 5 or lower ones as well, and of course there will be even more, including Berlin considering closing everything inside the S-Bahn ring to Diesel completely (they have to re-think their busses though). Yes, VW has sold more, but is actually an exception, and largely driven by rebates up to 34%. I hope you got that as well, it certainly makes a difference.

Who voted?

Secret Name the biggest problem on the autobahn is not really the speed. There are way too many trucks, most deadly accidents happen because of them. They sleep, then there’s traffic and they ride right into it and with that heavy thing it’s really deadly The people drive really responsibly. If the autobahn isn’t completely free it’s not so common that people drive over 180kph.

@@daniel_960_ i think calling it voting is the wrong word, more like a poll where the peolple where asked. And you are right, the many trucks are a big problem, so many accidents because of them because drivers are tired, drunk or disabled their autonomos braking assistant.

@Subhodip Banerjee It's time to enable fully autonomous driving trucks.

Yes, but it doesn't mean it sounds half as loud.

@@Ray147 Yes, I was stating that to have a more direct comparison to the other noise insulations in the other cars

@@Ray147 To be clear: +3dB is double the power, +10dB is (approx) double the perceived loudness for sound.

@@AllPr0 I'm glad you pointed that out, 3db lower its a good reduction but it isn't half the volume

Perceived loudness is also dependant on frequency of the audio. Human ear naturally isolates different audio frequency ranges at different levels

That's because I was hammering on the highway before I took this trip. GoM at start of the trip was estimating higher consumption. As we drove this slow trip, GoM recalculated for lower consumption.

I don't believe it before I see it. What will be finished first? A7 constructions or Berlin airport? I think Mars colony will be finished first.

@@MiccaPhone Yes, they should have been done since september. And to my knowledge the A7 is now 3 lanes all the way from Neumünster down to Hamburg. That's something.

It isn't that simple, it's much quieter but it needs to be 10db quieter to actually sound like half the noise

range came back later on. It shows how much range would you lose if you drive as you do at the moment.

It decreases as the video goes on, under 30 in the end

You can configure it and turn most of the stuff off

@@kommandantbrons Oh ok. Got you. Thanks for responding.

I think it looks awesome. Very good competition to the Model X

Sarkasmus?!
